Every Peterboro.-- 4 River View i + Peterboro.--Many ~ local citizens have remarked on the view to the south of the Hunter street bridge from that lofty structure, The is- lands that 'dot the water in that vi- cinity; covered with 'trees whose limbs touch. -the . water's edge, the green foliage contrasting with the color of | the water, forms a picture that at- tracts favorable comment.

SUBMARINES LURE SHIPS T0 THEIR END Towed by Harmless Trawler Sinks Enemy Craft New York.--The cloak of invisibil- ity is one of mankind's ancient dreams. Its advantages in many sit- uations of life are obvious--in a fight especially. Invisibility in warfare has been an endless preoccupation of frequently enbattled humanity, writes Lowell Thomas in Popular Mechanics Magazine. The World War, which brought the art of spilling blood to new heights of technique, provided new wonders of concealment. Two especial and opposing arts there were, as there have always been, the one for spy- ing on the enemy, the other for hid- ing yourself from hin. The former, essentially reconnais- sance, found its principal modern in vention in the aeroplane. Of the latter there were many sorts, camou= flage, the smoke screen, and, above | all, the submarine, Among the many measures that the allied powers took to thwart the fear- fully effective threat of the U-boats | was the systematic use of submarines that it could have any importance.

Goderich and bay ports. track, Ic higher than above.) Price on against the U-boats haunting and stalking the lanes which German prowlers customarily followed. Dur- ing the entire war the Germans had a few more than 300 U-boats in ac- tive fighting service, 17 Sunk by "Subs" Of these, 178 were sunk by the al- lies, a ghastly percentage of losses. Mines took tthe heaviest toll of the under-sea raiders. But as we look over the list, we are amazed and at first a bit baffled, to observe that 17 U-boats were sunk by allied submar- ines. The first U-boat sunk by an allied submarine was the U-10, lost in the summer of 1915. The British admir- alty conceived a brilliant and cunmng idea. The subtle plan of the London sea lords was to use a fishing smack as a decoy and have it cruise around with a British submarine in' tow. Of course the latter was to lurk just un- der the surface, with not even its periscope above water to give warn- ing. . It would be connected with the fish ing smack by a telephone line, Then if a U-boat on the prowl approached the innocent-looking fisherman and came along on the surface with the intention of sinking her by shell fire, the plan was for the British sub, ap- prised and guided by telephone, to pop suddenly to the upper zone and cut loose with a. torpedo. Superb idea, and so, in fact, it 'came to pass. On June 23, 1915, the trawler Tar- anaki could have been seen meander- ing along the Scottish coast, some miles off Aberdeen. And who would have suspected that she had a haul of steel fish in view with a steel fish of her own to effect the capture? For, attached to the towline of the harmless-looking Taranaki was the British under-sca ship of war, the C-24, G "U-boat in sight!" called the look- out on the fishing smack. "U-40" Meets Doom Leaning against the wall of his conning tower, with ' telephone re- ceivers over his ears, was a gaunt young Englishman, Lieut F, H. Tay- lor of the C-24, "Submarine a thousand yards astern," The message came from the trawler on the surface. "Slip the towline," the order was passed along from Licutenant Tay- lor to his men, But something went wrong and she could not free herself. Her com- mander telephoned to the trawler, which loosened the towline at its' end. The C-24 now had 300 fathoms of towline hanging from her bow. She immediately began to sink bow first, It 'took time to bring her up to an cven keel. Then she came to peri- scope depth for a look. The U-boat was lying on the sur- face ready to sink the trawler. The C-24, ruunning with her periscope showing and dragging that monoton- ous length of cable, steered to within 50 yards of the unsuspecting German, It took great scamanship to get in a shot, "Torpedo, fire!" And the white wake of the torpedo sped true to the mark, A heavy explosion and the U- 40 instantly sank. The British boat came to the surface and picked up two officers who had been on deck of the U-boat--the only survivors, A month later the British C-27 was being towed beneath the surface un- der similar circumstances. A U-boat appeared and ordered the trawler to "abandon ship." This was reported to the C-27, deep in the water. The telephone wires were kept hot, while the stalkers waited for the U- || boat to come up close enough for an effective attack. Then, right at the critical moment, the telephone went out of commission, Torpedo Misses Below the surface Lieutenant Dob«" son, in command of the C-27 swore his best sailorman's oath at the luck: He waited in a quandary. Then he heard explosions above, shells burst- ing on the surface, The U-boat was ines you might expect as a remote possibility, but surely. not that such encounters would become a normal feature in the scheme of things, or that these fights would have any ap- preciable part in the decision of war at sea. Nevertheless, allied were sent out on regular submarines' patrols Store, HAY FEVER and the summer cold , H. Karn, Drug Your Nose Needs 'Nostroline" firing on the trawler, "Slip the towline," ordered Dob- son, and the C-27 came up for a look around with her periscope. The Ger- man was shelling the trawler, which was replying to the fire. The C-27 maocuvred for a shot, "Torpedo, fire!" A tense wait in the submerged boat. Not a sound. The torpedo had missed. Surely their game would be up. How could the Germans have helped but see that telltale white wake? The ill-starred U-boat kept on firing. In the excitement of the fight and the thrill of seeing their missiles bursting on the enemy deck, the Germans were oblivious of every- thing else. They never noticed the white torpedo track that had swept past them, "Ready for another shot," ordered Dobson, as he shifted his aim. This time the torpedo sped true. A heavy explosion and the "U-23" plunged io the bottom. The C-27 blew her tanks, came to the surface, and picked up the cap- tain of the U-boat, two officers and four men who were swimming in the sea.

C, July 19.--A comprehensive governmental move to insure more airworthy planes has been taken in new Department of Commerce "airworthiness re- quirements", which set 'up rigor- ous standards for the safety of vital parts. An analysis made by the Aeren- autical Chamber of Commerce shows 38 specific change in the "airworthiness requirements," the aircraft engineering code follow- ed by American manufacturers to obtain opproved type eertificates for their plains before they are sold to the public. Advance copies of the code have been prepared by the chamber and sent to its members, who include approximately 95 per cent of the airplane manufacturers in the coun- try. To bring about further streng- thening of airplane structures, the Department of Commerce will re- quire manufacturers to demon- strate by loading tests the strength of all control surfaces and control systems, and the shock absorbing qualities of landing gears on their planes. Such tests were not. re- quired previously. Specimens of all wood members used in airplane construction must now be loaded to destruction and sample of the parts that fail must be analyzed to determine their physical properties. Cabin planes must have one exit for each six persons carried instead of just two exists as pre- viously required. Detailed speci fications for all openings and ex- its are giyen. The former sketchy require- ments for engine installation have been expanded to inculde detailed instructions to insure the highest type of construction. Propeller clearance above the ground has been changed from a minimum of six inches to nine in- ches for land plans and 18 inches for seaplanes, The propellers must be so designed and adjusted that they will limit the engine specd to 105 per cent. of the official rated speed at full throttle in lev- el flight. The instruction of glider. build- ing in the United States has promp- ted the addition of a new para- graph devoted to this type of con- struction, C-0-A-L MALLETT BROS.
